Best Lightweight Strollers – Baby Gizmo Awards 2015

This week we have shared our favorite singleand double strollers but we’re not stopping there! Oh no, we know that some parents are looking for lightweight strollers, whether it be for travel or everyday use. So we are sharing lightweight strollers that we loved in 2015 and that we currently love (since we are just a few weeks into 2016).

Best Lightweight Strollers

Britax B-Agile

The Britax B-Agile is a lightweight, easy-to-fold dream of a stroller for traveling. A large seat, one-handed fold, a large canopy and travel system capability, all in a lightweight package, make this a stroller that can be your one and only (unless you like to jog!). Watch the Britax B-Agile Baby Gizmo Video Review.

If you don’t know about the rather new-to-the-US brand BabyHome, you should! We love the beautiful, modern design of their lightweight Emotion stroller, as well as, the compact fold, high weight capacity, and huge basket.

You probably can’t hit the mall or a busy street without almost bumping into a Baby Jogger City Mini. Yep, this is one of the most popular lightweight strollers you can buy. Everyone loves it including us! Watch the Baby Jogger City Mini Baby Gizmo Video Review.

What we like best:

Super easy to fold with just one hand.

Huge, full-coverage canopy.

Near flat recline to accommodate a newborn in the seat.

Great push.

Car seat compatible.

Lightweight at only 16.8 lbs.

Accepts an infant car seat to become a sturdy travel system.

GB Qbit

There was a new travel stroller introduced in 2015 and we loved it! The GB Qbit is a budget-friendly, compact-folding, easy-to-push, travel stroller that is going to seriously impress you when you see it folded.

What we like best:

Budget-Friendly. Retailing at only $179, this compact stroller won’t break the bank.

Umbrella strollers are great for traveling and small spaces but most of the time they lack the reversible seat that parents want. Not the Baby Jogger Vue Lite. This is a true umbrella stroller that features a reversible seat that you have to see to believe. Watch the Baby Jogger Vue Baby Gizmo Video Review.

What we like best:

REVERSIBLE seat!

Lightweight. Weighs only 14.5 lbs.

Large canopy.

High weight capacity of 55 lbs.

Extra storage space behind the seat when forward-facing.

Accepts an infant car seat to become a travel system. (adapters sold separately)

Yes, there are luxury, lightweight strollers and the Bugaboo Bee leads the pack. This trendy stroller is a dream to push and features a reversible seat, compact fold and huge canopy. Plus, it turns into a pram with a Bugaboo carrycot. Watch the Bugaboo Bugaboo Bee 3 Baby Gizmo Video Review.

The Nano is Mountain Buggy’s most compact stroller that is easy to fold and small enough to fit in an overhead compartment of many airplanes. It was introduced in 2014 and has been a big hit among avid traveling parents. It’s lightweight and compact but big on features! Watch the Mountain Buggy Nano Baby Gizmo Video Review.

What we like best:

Super compact folded package.

Comes with a travel bag.

You can usually find one on sale for less than $200.

Roomy seat with a deep recline.

I have the Mountain Buggy Nano. We are about to leave on a trip where we will be taking a train to our destination, but flying back. I’m really hoping this stroller works for us. I like how compact it folds and that it has a strap to carry it.
